Is Shopify shifting away from Rails?
- tekbog 4y agoThis is something I'd like to know as well and nobody is talking about it, weird.
- fuzzygroup 4y agoAmen!
- Existenceblinks 4y agoRemember the whining people don't take action .. but the guys who have been silent all along quit .. suddenly shocking everyone? They will keep saying everything is going great!
- theklr 4y agoProbably not, but going where the market is in terms of business. Majority of their headless support is for react so investing in the stack allows them to expand and dictate that future. (Ancedata: did headless Shopify with ember and was aggravated in how piss poor their js support was in relation to React until their dev team told the data).
- kylehotchkiss 4y agoShopify has a nice GraphQL API that can be used to build JS frontends: https://github.com/Shopify/quilt/tree/main/packages/react-graphql https://github.com/Shopify/quilt/tree/main/packages/react-gr... I imagine that paired with Remix it'd be easy and fun to build shops. It doesn't have to replace rails in that regard.
- ecshafer 4y agoWe use a lot of React at Shopify on top of Rails, along with Go and Rust for critical performance systems on the backend.
- tinglymintyfrsh 4y agoMakes sense. Ruby dev over at Meta who uses Vue, TS, Rust WASM, and Rust backend at home. No Go (anymore) or Rails, but I love Rails, DRY-rb, trailblazer, haml for their expressiveness and software engineering.
